I have been on birth control pills for 5 years, how long do i have to be off them to become pregnant?

OCP: Until you start ovulating again; usually the first month or possibly the second.

As little as 2 weeks: Your ability to ovulate (release an egg) comes back quickly after stopping birth control pills - you can ovulate and have a chance to get pregnant within a few weeks of stopping the pills. If you had irregular cycles before starting the pills - common in teens - track your cycles off the pills, and if you're regular you should be getting pregnant in the first 6-12 months off pills. Best wishes.
